case fan configuration for good airflow

xMishax
Go to solution Solved by Baze_Ezra,

Generally, side/front/bottom should be intake, rear/top should be exhaust.

hello :) I have a case from my last prebuilt pc and I currently use it with my new rig. The case has one 80mm fan mount in the from, one 100mm fan mount in the back (at the same level as cpu cooler ), one 100mm fan mount on the top ( just right to psu ) and one 100m fan mount at the bottom. Where it would be the best to put intake and exhaust fans to create some airflow in the case?

Edit: there is also one 80mm fan mount on the side panel :)

Front and bottom intake, keep just rear as exhaust. Top and side aren't usually that important. The exception would be if 1) you have just stock CPU cooler -> side intake improves temps bit. And 2) blower style GPU -> again side intake will help.
